David Rheem Eliminates Steve Billirakis

After David "Chino" Rheem raised to 30,000 Steve Billirakis moved in from the big blind for his last 260,000. Rheem called and his {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} were well ahead of Billirakis' {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}. The flop came {9-Spades} {J-Spades} {3-Clubs} and the {7-Spades} gave Rheem a flush draw and Billirakis a gutshot, but the {2-Clubs} came on the river and Billirakis was eliminated. Rheem is now all the way up to two million in chips.
